Nicknames for United players in South America
- Thread starter Nobby style
- Start date
It literally translates as black. So if I wanted 6 dark beers I would ask for, "6 cervezas negra/negro."
Nothing racist about the use of the name in Peru.
Latin American commentary sounds more like Ray Hudson than Peter Drury's overhyping every five yard pass. How big is the premier league in *insert the South American country you live in*? Bigger than La Liga? How are English footballers perceived?
Juan Mata = John Bush
Marcos Rojo = Mark Red

Great thread - don't remember seeing it first time round
Often end up watching matches with Spanish or Arabic commentary, always seems far more exciting than our generally bland commentators

The worst thing about watching United matches in latin America is hearing the commentators getting excited when the opposition is attacking while their voices go low when it is us on the attack.
cnuts.
Massive. Mostly united and liverpool fans but I've strangely spotted citeh tops recently too.
Madrid, Barcelona and PSG are the most common tops you'll see people wearing.

El Jabali is absolutely brilliant for Rooney, I'd be proud of that one myself if I was known as the Wild Boar.
I remember Recoba was just known as 'Chino', not because he has any Asian heritage but the Uruguayan population decided his eyes looked Chinese.
Think I've heard Rooney called Jabali and Chacho

Half South America speak Portuguese. And we have no creativity for nicknames. We just add "inho" in the end.
Pibe is boy or little guy in Argentina.
Strange no one has pointed out this one, I guess most of us are trying to forget.
Alexis Sanchez - El Niño Maravilla (the wonder boy)
